# Things Magi Might Want

#### by Brian Fourdraine

This is a listing of things magi may want, and might be willing to trade for. How much, and of what depends entirely on how much they want it, and what its intrinsic value is. If you give enough of the right things, you could probably trade for (just about) anything a magus or maga has.

This list is also to serve as a guide for the things that a successful covenant has enough of. This listing is set up into five different headings: Magic and Magic-related things, Commodities, Agreements & Social Services, Human Resources, and Miscellaneous. This list is by no means definitive.
